Photo: Diane Edwardson September 9, 2009. LAFD declared a Red Flag Day starting at 8AM, Tuesday, December 5, 2017. LAFD's website has become difficult to sign up for, or change how you receive notices. Some of us, who've been signed up for alerts since the program began, got notice; others did not. Once again, I got a call and email but not a text. I used to receive all three. I recommend following @LAFDtalk on Twitter.
Photo: Red Car Property Neighbor June 19, 2016. The Silver Lake Fire illustrated why Corralitas Drive is a Red Flag Day No Parking street. There is only one access road, Rosebud Ave, to about 52 homes on Corralitas Drive, a substandard Hillside Street with hairpin turns. If you didn't drive out before the Fire Dept arrived, you could not drive off the hill. June 19, 2017 was not a Red Flag Day. Neighbors a half a mile away, reported 6" embers blowing past their homes.
The recent fires in Orange County, Napa Valley and Santa Rosa were wind driven fires.
December 1, 2011, we had a major windstorm that knocked down trees, knocked out power and started a fire on Lake View Ave.
